"Remembrance of Things Past" is Saturnine's sixth and final album. The entire eight-song, forty-five minute release is available for download here.

Since their formation in NYC in 1994, Saturnine has always had a literary element to their music, expressed in certain song titles, lyrics, and themes, but "Remembrance of Things Past" takes things a step further: It's a concept album, based on French writer Marcel Proust's famed work of the same name (titled in French, "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu", and also translated as "In Search of Lost Time"), with Saturnine singer/guitarist Matt Gallaway playing Marcel's role of the narrator, and vocalist Frances Gibson of seminal Australian band the Cannanes as his lover, Albertine.

In addition to guitarist/vocalist Gallaway and Cannanes singer Gibson, these recordings feature the work of Saturnine members Mike Donofrio (of the New Year) on bass, guitarist John Pisani (of Cookie Galore), and drummer Jim Harwood. Additional information on the recording and the band can be found at music blog Bradley's Almanac, and at Saturnine's MySpace page.
